Ok, well here goes...I've been seeing a therapist, and it turns out that I really like her. I was able to open up (for the most part) and, unfortunately, become very attached to her. Since she was only allowed to see me until I graduated (she is my college therapist), I had to say goodbye, which was so incredibly hard. I kept in touch through email a few times over the summer, which helped me out a lot. Now, I decided to go back to my college to go to grad school. School rules say she is only allowed to see me for a semester and I have already used up my time with her, however, they are bending the rules slightly and allowing me to see her for another 8 sessions of individual therapy. My dilemma is that I will see her for the 8 sessions, but how am I going to say goodbye again?? I don't know if I can do it all over again, it hurts too bad. Should I see her again?? It is just that I was finally able to open up and feel comfortable enough to tell her things and just as I started feeling safe, I get the shaft!!! Is that healthy to start therapy with someone and not continue?? I mean I know it is beyond her control, but what the hell?!?! I am just so lost, confused, hurt, upset. I just need help sorting out everything, and what should I do so I don't feel like she is abandoning me...and trust me, I have abandonment issues.
